Goose Island 2013 Schedule

I had to search here to find the 2013 schedule. If you go to gooseisland.com you still get the 2012 schedule. How the hell did you find the 2013 schedule?

 

Anyone else notice that Summertime is slated for release this month according to that calendar? Wow.

 

so by luck basically. thanks
Why wouldn't GI update this?

 

Wow! that's terrible

 

Moved up a month from last year. Wonder if new distribution states has anything to do with that? Shipping beer to Guam?

 

Ken tweeted about tasting the Summertime from Baldwinsville yesterday, I didn't even put it together that that means it will be released soon. Sheesh.

 

It's possible that it's not done yet and they didn't want to publish a half-finished document (of course, why make it live at all? that's what an intranet is for!).

 

I saw a picture on their Twitter feed that had the mashbill for Bourbon County and it was dated 2/5/13... Maybe end of 2013?...

 

Also not on the calendar is Sofie Paradisi -- which, judging from the pictures they were posting on Twitter, they made a fair amount of. Enough to warrant a new name, rather than just stick with Grapefruit Sofie. One of the other F&W beers, Dark Traveler (a Munich Dunkel), is also absent.

All of which is to say, we should take the schedule -- not so much when we will see these beers, but what beers we can expect at all -- with a huge grain of salt.

 

Damn. That is not good. I was already disappointed this year to notice that it seemed there was only one wave of Harvest to hit the shelves. Everything I picked up had August bottle dates, so there was nothing fresher available after the original batch - at least at the spots I normally frequent.

I also read or deduced that it was no longer made in Chicago. But, full disclosure, I may be completely imagining that.

 

According to a press release posted on BeerPulse, Harvest Ale is still on deck for this year:

It did seem like that with their seasonals this year, they would made one big batch and just kept trucking it out. The only bottled on date for Mild Winter I ever saw was in October, I think.

 

I saw the keg approval on Beerpulse earlier this week but haven't seen any bottle label approvals. Either way, I need wine barrel and citrus fruit aged Sofie to be in my life this summer.

 

sofie is already (partially) aged in wine barrels. but grapefruit sofie sounds awesome.

 

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

This is the same beer they had at the mini golf event last summer. It was delish. Can't wait to have it again.

 

I had it at the 2012 Brewpub Shoot-out and gushed to Inigo Montoya, sorry, John Lafler, about it. He seemed really pleased with how it came out back then, as he should be!

 

So the schedule you get from the OP link is waaay different now.

 

Start saving yo cash money for the fall, everyone.
